I had a great life

Hey. I know it's been EONS since I last posted. Truth is I was busy.

I was busy being the awesome dog that I am. I picked on my sister, hunted creatures (squirrels were my favorite)that wandered in our yard, loved on my Mommy & Daddy, played, ate (a lot), took car rides, walked, & just enjoyed life.

Two years ago we moved into the most awesome house ever. We had so much room to move & play. We had the best smelling back yard. We even made tons of new friends. Our neighbors loved me (all right all of us). Life was pretty much perfect. I didn't get to chase squirrels much anymore.

Mommy & me bonded big time. I became her "Bug" or "Buggy" (when I was being silly). She is the most awesome person ever. I wormed my way into all our visitors hearts. I didn't have to do more than be charming.

I mean, it was really good. My day started with a walk with Daddy. I then followed Mommy as she got ready to leave me. I would hope she would let me come, but she never did. Daddy would put us down in the boring room. Although it was better than being in jail like I was at the old house.

We'd (Galen, Sheba & Me) would hang out. Sometimes we'd help Sheba make a mess, sometimes we just hand out.
Then what felt like years later, Mommy would come & rescue us. We'd either hang out in the backyard with her or go to the front on the big circle of grass.
Mommy would be silly & talk to us.

We'd come in & eat. Sheba & I would fight over the food. Mommy would ignore us. I'd stay by Mom's feet as she made dinner.
Daddy would come home, we'd greet him & I'd bring him one of Sheba's toys.
Daddy would walk us.
Mom & Dad would eat good food or Daddy would take us with him to the magic window.

We'd all hang out around the couches. Mommy would talk to me & rub my ears. We'd then go upstairs. Daddy in his office & Mommy in hers. I'd always hang out with her.

A little later Mommy would go back to the bedroom & bring me up on the bed to hang with her. Comfort!

Daddy would then come in & take us out & then bed time!

See, a pretty good life. I'd get to greet the neighbors in our numerous outings. I even met 2 new friends in Barkley & Brinks. As I said, I loved our new house.

All good stories come to an end. In March I got sick. We're not exactly sure with what. I appeared to be getting better but it was all fake.

In the end, I was starving to death & in immense pain. Mommy cried and cried told me she loved me. Begged me to get better. I wanted to. I really wanted to for her sake...but I just couldn't.

She & Daddy were with me as I closed my eyes. I tried to tell her not to cry but I don't know if she heard me. I know I heard her when she told me she loved me. I sure as heck loved her.

So there you have it. I had a fantastic life. I'll have an awesome time now playing with all those who got here first. Remember me well.....SQUIRREL!

W.T.F??

I know I know. I need to keep more up to date on my entries here. Just keeping busy with sleeping, eating, picking on Sheba...yanno the daily activities.
Anyhow, about WTF...how come Mommy can't just take me on a car ride anymore to a cool place. It seems now a days anytime I get in the car, I end up being poked or proded or left to get my "hair done" or left at the doggie hotel.
What happened to the days of going on a ride somewhere fun?

Well today wasn't all that bad. After the people with the needles, Mommy took me to the magic window. You know the magic window, you pull up & they give you a bag of yummy smelling goodies? Yes Mommy took me to the magic window & I got a hamburger! YUMMY.
Galen & SHeba were mad when I told them, but I don't care. I deserved it after the needles!

it's been awhile.

Okay. it's been awhile. Things have been ..so so. First there was a lot of big booms & noises about a month ago. I hate hate hate those noises. I hid under the bed. It was horrible. Luckily the air condition thingy made noise to kind of cover it.

Then Mommy & Daddy did something awful. They took us to one of those places that smells of dogs & I hear dogs barking pitifully. It's never good. Usually we get poked & prodded at these places. Well I would have PREFERRED to have been poked & prodded. No. What do they do, they LEFT US THERE! Do you believe it? Left me there!! Galen & Sheba weren't too thrilled either. There were other doggies there too all screaming for their mommies & daddies. I can't believe they did that to me. ....I mean us.
We were some what lucky. The 3 of us got to be together while other brothers & sisters were separated. I don't know what I would have done without Gay & Sheb. I mean we're not all buddy buddy but we're family!

It was the most horrible night of my life. They rescued us the next morning. It took me forever to recover. I even was losing hair. I hope Mommy never does that again. I love my Mommy. Daddy's ...cool. but he's not Mommy.

I've been on my best behavior since then. I don't want to give Mommy any reason to do that again. I don't know if I could take it.

Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading!
